It was Unladen Swallow that used LLVM, but it was early on in LLVM's JIT life and they unfortunately had to spend a bunch of time fixing LLVM which ate up the time they had to do the experiment.

I do not know maybe it was already discussed ... but the toolchain like LLVM is very mature and it can provide the simpler JIT compilation to machine code functionality and it will improve performance of the Python a lot !!

see numba:  http://numba.pydata.org/

Also, I"m pretty sure one of the efforts to make a faster python was based on LLVM, but it didn't work out as well as hoped -- unladen swallow maybe?
